Weezer Question for Wednesday

Album:Weezer

Track:
Yesterday, I listened to Weezer's self-titled debut for the first time in many, many years. It's still really, really good. Anyways, when the first jangly sounds came through my headphones, I immediately sent my younger brother an email informing him that I was listening to "My Name Is Jonas".Back in 1994, I spun the hell out of this record, often in my brother's room while we played one of t...

What Tammy Believes
Ever since I began this site, my kid sister Tammy has been pestering me about it. Telling me what I should and should not be writing about. I cannot tell you how many times I've screamed at her, "Get your own Tumblr, Tammy!" She never does. Her excuse, "I wouldn't even know what to write about."Being the big brother that I am, I've decided to force allow Tammy to write her own posts from ti...

What would I love to hear from Sonic Youth at McCarren Pool's final Show?"Disappearer"In 1999 - 2000, tapes were nearly dead. Most record stores, that were still selling cassettes, had them relegated to general discount bins in a dark and dusty corner. CDs were king with mp3s quickly rising.During this time period, I got my first, and only, car. A 1991 black 2-door Saturn Coupe. It had a t...

What would I love to hear from Sonic Youth at McCarren Pool's final Show?"Tuff Gnarl" VS. There's a constant battle in my mind over which Sonic Youth album is the best: Sister or Daydream Nation ?For quite awhile it was Sister . Easily. Their sound, which had been evolving on Bad Moon Rising and EVOL , was still just as intricate and dense, but sharpened into powerful four minute songs with...

What would I love to hear from Sonic Youth at McCarren Pool's final Show?"Purr"No, not "100%" , not "Swimsuit Issue" , not "Theresa's Sound World" , not "Drunken Butterfly" , not "Sugar Kane" , not "Chapel Hill" . All awesome songs, yes, but the track off of Dirty I'd like to hear is "Purr".Even without Thurston's primal wail and line, "howl the moon yeah", this song would make me feel like a...

What would I love to hear from Sonic Youth at McCarren Pool's final Show?"In the Kingdom #19"We're long overdue for a Lee song. I've chosen this one, from EVOL , for a couple of reasons. The first is simply because I love it. I always enjoy songs that give you really brief and really catchy melodies. The kind that leave you wanting more. The riff between 0:36 - 1:30 is a perfect example o...

But what if after the ten minute long noise excursion, with Thurston thrashing away at his guitar, a drum stick lodged underneath the strings between pickups, Kim pounding the bass while bouncing in high heels, Lee doing fig.

At about 4:30 pm, my phone vibrates. It's a text message from Matthew."are you here?"For him, here is McCarren Pool in Brooklyn, New York, awaiting a performance by Indie Rock Titans, Yo La Tengo. For me, here is the Gladwyne Methodist Church Cemetery in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania, inside of a blue 1963 Cadillac Eldorado being driven by 79 year old former New York Met, Frank Thomas.I respond to M...

What Kind of Wednesday Are You Having?What Are You Thinking About to Get Through Wednesday?"Why does Shock G wear the fake nose? Is it a Marx Brothers thing? He wanted to bring some old school humor to hip-hop. What if others would have followed suit? Like, what if A Tribe Called Quest had a Three Stooges thing? Or Dr. Dre and Snoop were Abbott and Costello? I guess that would have underm...

What Kind of Tuesday Are You Having?A "Tuesday's Gone"?Yeah, that beautiful Tuesday you hung out with is gone. She just left the bar. Sing a song in her memory. Go ahead.Now listen.That's not the echo of your voice ringing in the early Wednesday air. That's a chorus of bikers! After they buy you a shot of Jack and a beer, they want to take you for a ride down to the beach. They're going ...

What Kind of Tuesday Are You Having?A "'Til Tuesday"?While everyone else is having their "Tuesday Afternoon", "Ruby Tuesday" or "Gentle Tuesday" someone is doing absolutely everything in their power to not allow you to follow suit. This person wants you to have "Monday 2: Monday Harder". The prick. Don't take that bullshit. While they're not paying attention, carefully plot. When it's ear...

What Kind of Tuesday Are You Having?
What Kind of Tuesday Are You Having?A "Ruby Tuesday"?You are an optimist but also a realist. Monday doesn't matter when it's gone, but the beautiful Tuesday will be soon as well. But until that clock strikes midnight, you're gonna go out, flute in hand, your frilly or pastel blouse on, covered by a weather-appropriate jacket, of course, and have fun with Tuesday until she's gone.~~

What Kind of Tuesday Are You Having?
What Kind of Tuesday Are You Having?A "Gentle Tuesday"?For you, Tuesdays are lighter than Mondays, but they're not all about fun and playfulness. You're still at work, so it can't be. But your duties are much easier, so the day's more relaxed. For you, Tuesdays are actually a bit like Sundays, only with less anxiety and melancholy.~~

What Kind of Tuesday Are You Having?
What Kind of Tuesday Are You Having?Tuesdays are a whole other beast compared to Mondays. Seems odd at first, since they are only the second weekday, but, for the most part, they have a much lighter, playful feel. I attribute it to the need for people to loosen up a bit after the doom and gloom of Mondays and the growing anxieties of Sundays.Just like Mondays, there are different types of Tu...
